  • Very lightweight, but a compromise in comfort and sturdiness. Great for backpacking.
Color: Grey
I bought the lightest chair I could find for backpacking and it fills the need! Backpacking with a chair is a bit over the top IMO, but I'm older now and have some back issues. After seeing others out in the wilderness with a chair, I just had to get one. I skimp on other areas in exchange for a chair. That said, to shave off weight, they had to exchange sturdiness and comfort which makes sense. You need to be careful so as not to tip over as the legs are pretty close together and I would give it 7/10 for comfort. But the only way to fix both these is to beef it up, thus adding weight. So if you looking for a super light camp chair to backpack that is far more comfortable than sitting on a rock or log, then this is for you. If you are car camping, I'd get a heavier one that is more stable and comfortable. I took this to Havasupai and it worked well. I will plan on taking it on more backpacking trips. It also is good if you want a super small/light chair to stuff in your car or store somewhere just in case, or if you are tight on space and want to pack a chair at the next outdoor event just in case. I'll give it 5-stars for the weight, but just know what you are trading (weight for stability and some comfort). Probably the most comfortable chair for it's weight though. Can't really compare this with heavier chairs, not apples-to-apples or fair to the manufacturer as it wasn't designed for car camping IMO. I'm pulling out my Tommy Bahama for car camping or concerts... ... show more

  • Seems solid and comfortable
Color: Black
Quick review after receiving the Chair Zero and testing at home. I'll update my review in 3 weeks after we camp a few weekends. First impression is we are blown away by the comfort for the fact that this is designed first and foremost to be light for hike in camping. It's definitely more expensive than others but I truly believe the industry leading weight loss is worth an extra $20-30 for a chair that should last. It's very low to the ground but still comfortable. Granted I'm not big at 5'9 150, but the chair cup is pretty roomy. There is a little bit of stability issues but I think most of these lightweight chairs have that given the low profile. But the 'normal' seated position feels comfortable to sit for a couple of hours, especially after a long hike. Assembly after the first try is easy, as is packing it back up. You are likely paying for the high end aluminum so hopefully it lasts. Outdoor Gear Lab rates this as their top buy so should be good to go. There are most definitely cheaper options out there, and if you don't do hike-in camping I would say try some other chairs that probably have more to them. But if you want a chair that is super light, but still comfortable for any type of camping. This might be it. I'll be back to review after really breaking them in. ... show more

  • Great for backpacking
Color: Black
I lead my boys' scouting group and we do a lot of backpacking camping. I used to take a Thermarest pad and sit on a rock, but still that was tough on my old knees. This is a dream come true! A super lightweight chair (without the stuff bag, it weighs a pound and fits perfectly in the side pocket of my backpack. A little tricky to set up the first few times. Did not want to force the poles in the pockets for fear of ripping the pockets. Nice there are only 2 pieces though - the poles, which fold up, and the chair seat/back. Nothing to get lost! Not the most comfortable chair to sit in, but better than sitting on the ground. To ensure balance, it is best to stretch out the legs as opposed to keeping them close to the chair. The back is shorter than I would like for normal use, as I would love to rest my shoulders back after a day of backpacking. Regardless of these two design aspects, I love sitting in this chair vs. on the ground. I feel comfortable in the chair from the perspective of holding my weight (5'7" & 170 lbs). I can sit by a fire in this chair for hours and feel comfortable. For cold weather, I purchased REI's Flexlite Chair Underquit which fits the Chair Zero perfectly! The extra insulation is easy to put on and makes a big difference in freezing temps. It is also a lightweight quilt so does not increase the packweight. Overall, glad I have this in my kit to make backpacking more comfortable. Recommend! ... show more

  • Awesome, considering its size and weight
Color: Grey
It's a lightweight, comfortable chair. Don't expect it to be your TV room couch :) I bought one and liked it so much we bought a second one for my wife. PRO: - Lightweight, easy to carry - Sturdy - Small - about a 1 liter Nalgene bottle - Puts you at a good level for tending a fire, cooking on a camp stove on the ground, and similar activities. CAVEATS: - Legs may sink in a little on soft ground. If it does, get up and shift it a little to a new spot. - Works best on level surfaces. If you're on a slope, you will either tend to slide out the front of the seat, or tip over backwards. A manageable situation. - Getting in and out. Because this is so low, you may want to modify your technique for getting in and out. To sit down, I straddle a corner of it, heels close to the seat, and sit. To stand up, forget leaning forward and getting up like usual. I find it much easier to turn toward a corner, scooch closer to the corner, bring your heels all the way back almost under the chair - this puts them under your behind. Standing up is a whole lot easier that way with your legs lined up on your center of gravity. CONS - It IS mesh, so if there's a cool breeze blowing, this won't block much of it. Dress appropriately or use a Z Seat. ... show more

  • SUPER expensive and not very stable, but also very light and comfortable
Color: Black
My wife won't sit in one of these because her first time in she almost tipped over, and she doesn't feel stable using one. But for me it works well. I also have a Hillsound BTR stool because it's the same weight for a taller (17") seat. This is ideal for doing things where you need to "sit up" like birding, glassing for game, or even something like playing cards. But for "relaxing after a hike" this is wy more comfortable overall. ... show more
